NEMESIS 3


Jennifer rode into her father's estate with Henry still trailing behind.
She met Kelvin and two guys drinking.
Kelvin jerked on spotting her dishevelled appearance.
"Jenny?" He called.
Henry drove in and parked the car. He was mad with rage and fear.
"Jennifer, I'm pretty sure you have an explanation for this drama!" Henry screamed.
"What happe..."
"He raped me!" Jennifer pointed at Henry.
Kelvin casted a suprise glance.
"I remember him, he was with a guitar" Jennifer shivered in fright.
Henry stood transfixed on the spot, shivering.
"Jennifer, i hope you know what you're sa...."
"There was a missing breast, a b...."
"Stop this shit Jenny" Henry found his voice.
The two guys just stared on in suprise.
"Why did you take my bike? Are you aware of the accident i caused?" Henry ranted.
"Kel, i was scared he was gonna kill me if he found out!" Jennifer said.
Kelvin scratched his head in frustration.
"Henry we've to visit the police so as to veri....."
"You believe her?" Henry asked.
"I don't know what to believe?" Kelvin half screamed.
"We will visit the forensic department so as to clear the doubt, they still have the finger prints. Henry please you have my apology if this turns out false!" Kelvin said and retrieved his phone.
Henry couldn't believe his past could return. He needed to act quick.
He made a quick run to the gate and was suprised it was locked. He tried to unlock it but couldn't .
Kelvin and the two guys raced towards him.
Henry breathed hard and clenched his fist, he was gonna fight for his freedom.
He threw a punch to Kelvin and followed it with an uppercut, Kelvin yelped and fell to the ground.
The two guys rounded him with their fist clenched.
Henry studied their moves for a while then threw a punch which caught one at his jaw. The other one threw a punch but Henry deflected it and sent a kick to his groin and he fell down. Kelvin soon recovered and charged at Henry. Henry quickly grabbed an iron chair and slammed it on Kelvin's shoulder.
Jennifer on seeing blood tickle down Kelvin neck region screamed loud.
Henry struggled to unlock the bolt of the gate oblivious of Fairy racing towards him. He heard a snarl and turned to see the white- haired monster closing up on him. He grabbed a stick but it was too late.
Fairy launched her seventy nine pounds weight of fury on him.
He lost balance and crashed his head on the metal bar of the gate and passed out. Fairy sniffed his body and barked loudly.
Kelvin held his injured shoulder and staggered weakly.
"Son of a bastard!" He cursed.

"What is happening here?" Mr.Edwin screamed.
The fuss and screams had disturbed him.
He gasped as he saw his son and his two friends bleeding heavily. He took a close look on the man on the ground.
"Henry!" He gasped and turn towards Kelvin demanding an explanation.
"He raped Jennifer and tried to escape".
"He raped her in my own house?" Edwin held his waist in shock.
"He was one of the men that raped me at Ibaka!" Jennifer said.
Chief Edwin nodded in disbelief.
"Dad I'm telling the truth, he put a gun in my vagina and a stick in Lucy's" Jennifer was now sobbing.
"I remembered the marks on his body".
Chief Edwin stared at Henry in anger.
"When we confronted him, he attacked us, if not for Fairy, he would have escaped!" Kelvin said.
Chief Edwin examined them.
"Only him, attacked three of you and drew blood from you? That means he is a hardened criminal!" Chief Edwin retrieved his phone and dialled a number.
"Hello detective Frank".

NEMESIS 2

Jennifer looked back and saw a salon car racing after her.
She marched the throttle and the bike roared.
Road users had to vacate the road for the mad lady.
Some cursed, while some stared in wonder.
Jennifer paid utmost concentration on the road as she expertly glided the bike handle.
Many thought ran through Henry's mind. He would have concluded in his mind that Jennifer was a high way robber but No! She was from a rich family. Why will she abscond with his bike?
The driver wasn't giving out the best of his speed.
Jennifer on her part, rode the bike like a pro, her riding skills were top notch. He found himself admiring her as she stood aloof on the bike, her ass on the air and her hair following the wind.
"Stop!"
The driver looked at him, engaged the gear handle and gradually marched the brake pedal.
Henry sent him a punch and smashed his head against the windscreen.
The old man screamed in pains before he could recover, Henry kicked him out of the taxi.
"I'm sorry, i had to do this, I'll drop your car ar the flyover!" Henry engaged the gear handle and stepped on the gas pedal.
Jennifer groaned in fear as the bike reduced in acceleration. The fuel metre was ticking down. She turned the bike into a filling station.
She breathed impatiently while on the que.
Her turn!!!
She retrieved a thousand naira note and filled the tank.
Henry spotted her riding out of the filling station.
He raced after her.
"Jenny! Are you loosing your mind?" He screamed.
"You think you're quick?" Henry screamed but got no reply.
He fastened his seat belt and raced after her.
Jennifer suprised him with her speed and dexterity.
But Henry never gave up.
He heard a siren and turned to his side mirror.
They were being chased by lastma officials.
Henry marched on the gas throttle.
The lastma officials brought to life their driving skills as they successfully overtook Henry.
Henry reduced his speed, as if wanting to surrender and in a swift manner he rode towards the lastma officials as if wanting to cause a collision.
The lastma official cursed and expertly swerved the car off Henry's track but he couldn't avoid the nearby drainage. The car ran in helplessly, screams of god and goddess filling the air and then
BANG!!!!!
Henry sighed in relief and raced after Jennifer.
Once a criminal is always a criminal.

Jennifer controlled her movement with one hand and use the other to make a call.
"Kel, where are you?"
"I'm at home, why the urgency in your voice, are you okay, what of Henry?"
"You ask too much questions, make sure you're not alone"
"Huh?"
"Make sure you're not alone, and make sure Fairy is unleashed".
"Jenny?"
"Someone is about to go down".

Episode 14
Nemesis

In life, everything happens for a reason. Fate and destiny are entwined. An object today might be a key to the future, a key to unlock the gates of joy, freedom, salvation, love. Or it might be a key to unlock the gates of pains and misery.
NEVER BE A BLITHE!
Before you get tangled in debauchery, think of the after-effect.
Wounds, injuries no matter its degree may heal quickly, but its scars may linger on even for eternity.

John Mfon



"Whoah nice house you've got!" Jennifer complimented as she alighted from Henry's power bike.
"Yea i built it" Henry bragged.
"Serious?"
"Yea"
"Whoah, it is difficult to see young men like you with their own personal house".
"Believe me, I'm not young" Henry said.
Henry unlocked the door and they moved inside.
Jennifer jumped on a chair and gigled.
"Sometimes you behave like a kid, sometimes you behave like a grown up woman!" Henry said and moved into the dinning. He emerged later with a bottle of wine and two tumblers. He poured the wine into them and raised his glass up.
"For a happy marriage!"
"For a happy marriage!" She replied.
They made a toast and gulped down the content of the glass.
"This is where we'll be living in a few month!" Jennifer observed.
"Yea, i have four bedrooms, two kitchens and a store" Henry said.
Jennifer smiled.
They drank in silence.
They kept stealing glances, and undressing themselves with their eyes. All of a sudden, the sitting room suddenly became hot even with the large table fan blaring in full ferocity.
"Let's talk dirty!" Henry said, staring deeply at Jennifer.
Jennifer stood up from where she sat and catwalked towards Henry.
"That thing you did to me the other day, who taught you?"
"Which thing?" Henry squinted.
"Never mind" Jennifer squated before him. "I want you to do it again" Her lascivious desire sparkled through her eyes.
Henry chuckled.
"You're a fast learner" He grabbed her by her hands and made her stand. He shifted back to admire her. Her curves, her long enticing legs.
The gaze pierced through Jennifer's soul as she shivered in delight.
"Make love to me, Bleep me like it is my last day in this world!" Jennifer breathed, she made to unbuckle her shoes but Henry stopped her.
She sighed in frustration as Henry only stood still watching her.
"A creature of perfection stands before me. My mother taught me that Objects of utmost importance must never be rushed. You are a creature of great importance, i will take time to savor the soothing relish that comes with you" Henry breathed.
Jennifer struggled to stand erect as her cunt was dripping.
Some men were natural sexual appetizers.
Henry's vocals almost drove her nuts, his eyes were flames of fire.
Desire, unbridled passion shot like wild arrows out of his eyes.
"Please let me unbuckle my shoe" Jennifer pleaded.
Henry moved forward and grabbed her blouse collar, she sighed in relief as she grabbed his neck and they engaged in a ferocious bout of kiss.
"There is a fire that burns quicker than fire, there is a fire that can reduce the strongest of rocks to ashes. That fire is what burns in us, if we're not careful it can reduce us to ashes!" Henry breathed.
"How can we be careful?" She groaned.
"By taking one step at a time!".
Henry took his time to UnCloth Jennifer. He uncapped her bra and rubbed her nipples.
Jennifer groaned, she staggered weakly.
"Henry please" she breathed.
"Why are you 'pleasing' me?" Henry tipped a mischevious question.
Jennifer struggled to keep her stance as he suckled.
"I'll have to share this with my kids" Henry chuckled.
He went on his knees and shifted her skirt downwards. He traced his fingers round her cunts.
"Every part of your body is smooth!" Henry commended.
She was already soaked in sweat and panting.
"Henry ashhhhhhhh, pl.....ea...se don't torture me" She shivered.
Her legs betrayed her, as she became limp. Henry held her thighs to prevent her from falling.
"Let me drink from the river of life"
He used his tongue to tease the lips of her cunt, he parted it with his fingers and rammed the interior with his mouth.
Jennifer exploded like a broken dam.
Her juice flowed like running water.
She momentarily forgot where she was, how she stood. She screamed as her body stiffened and almost lost balance but He held her.
She groaned in ectasy as she felt another orgasm brewing inside her.
She felt spirited, she felt herself in heaven flying with the angels. She never wanted this painful-sweet torture to end. He kept ravishing her internal organs till he was satisfied.
Jennifer's eyes were spinning, tears streaming down her eyes.
He kissed her, together they tasted the cunt-liquid.
"Remove your clothes!" Jennifer ordered weakly.
"Very well" He grabbed his polo buttons and wanked it off.
She groaned weakly and held the sofa for support. She staggered a bit and grabbed Henry.
She helped him off his polo and ran her fingers on his tux singlet.
"How many years did you spend building this" She grabbed his singlet and pulled it off.

Her eyes popped wild.
"Precious Heavens!" She gasped as she traced her fingers on his missing left breast, the machete scar.
Something caught her attention.
'The blue flame'
'Ironborn'.
The faint words were inscribed on his chest. He had tried to erase the tatoo but couldn't. The tattoo was faint but real obvious from a close view.
"Are you okay?" Henry asked as he noticed her sudden stiffness.
Jennifer peered into his face.
She remembered that night, the night of the full moon. The face that held the guitar, the voice that sang that night.

Lo and behold! She stood before a tormentor, a rapist, the harbringer of sorrow.
She recoiled slowly and grabbed her cloth.
He gritted his teeth in frustration, he thought she was encountering one of her phobic attack.
She stared at him with great fear.
"Jenny?" Henry called.
'He could be with a gun, he can kill me' She shivered in terror.
Her law instinct came into play.
She grabbed the key of his bike and raced out of the house.
Henry just stood dumbstruck.
The sound of his bike engine jerked him to reality. He raced after her.
"Jenny stop, what tha hell?"
He left his door unlocked and raced after her.
He flagged a taxi and jumped in.
"Follow that power bike!" Henry screamed.
The taxi man gave him an askance look.
"I'll pay you anything you want!" Henry replied impatiently.
The taxi man nodded and joined the chase.

Episode 13
B.M.W

When love beckons, follow it.
Henry sat nervously on a chair, tapping his legs as he waited. He had his guitar on the table and a bottle of wine untouched. He had practised his lines extremely well but he still felt nervous. The nerves was a normal acceptable phenomenon in such situation. He somehow felt scared for what the future held for them. He loved Jennifer, he was sure of that but is love enough to maintain a union? Is love the only criteria to keep marriage in a good shape. He felt haunted by his own conscience. He had this nagging feeling that he is responsible for what happened to Jennifer but he shook it off. What happened was past, faded into nothing, only thinking and speaking of it makes it real.

"Henry! A penny for your thought?" Jennifer tapped the table.
Henry jerked almost spilling his drink.
"I was lost in the valleys of fear
But the thought of our future
Has given me strength to carry on".
Henry got up and planted a kiss on her lips.
"You're beautiful".
"Thanks, and you're handsome!"
"I hope you didn't have problems locating this garden?" Henry asked.
"Yea! The taxi driver knew this place. But why will we be having a date in the forest?" Jennifer asked.
"We want to build new memories! I don't want you to remember that incident again that took place in the cold night, i want you, us, to forever remember this day!" Henry said.
Jennifer smiled weakly.
"You brought your guitar here?"
"Yea, let's make sweet music. What singing voice do you produce?"
"Contralto!" Jennifer smiled. "And you?"
"I sing all part!"
"That's not possible" Jennifer shooked her head.
"I sing soprano, alto, tenor and bass. A pretty good singer must be able to do that" Henry said.
"I'll love to hear you do it"
"What's your favourite romance song?" Henry asked.
"Hallelujah by Johnny drille and Simi"
"I think i know that one!"
"You seem to know everything!"
"I've spent all my life listening to all manners of music and i have a magnetic brain for it!" Henry smiled.
"Sing for your baby" Jennifer made a puppy face.
"With pleasure"
Henry plucked the strings expertly.

"♪I really like you and it's true ♪There is only one, just you♪

Jennifer smiled in pure delight, she raised her voice too.

Henry took over.

♪The way you love me, Halleluya ♪Because you love me, Halleluya ♪You say you love me, Halleluya
♪ My baby loves me, Halleluya
♪The way you love me, Halleluya ♪Because you love me, Halleluya♪

Henry pulled out a silver box from his breast pocket and bent a knee down.
Jennifer gasped and blushed seriously, with tears streaming down her eyes.
"Be My Wife, please" Henry held the diamond ring.
"You know I'll say yes, and yes a thousand times!" Jennifer stretched forth her hands and Henry inserted the ring.
"I'll die a happy man!"
Jennifer paused and turned, she was shocked as she saw Kelvin with a camera. Henry didn't seem suprised.
"Kel, what are you doing here?" Jennifer held her waist.
"I was just passing!" Kelvin shrugged. "I and fairy".
Jennifer saw Fairy staring at her.
"Come here girl" Jennifer beckoned.
Fairy marched to her happily wagging her tail.
Kelvin moved forward and hugged him.
"Happy to have you in our family"
Henry nodded.
"Man you can sing" Kelvin complimented.
"Man you can guard" Henry smiled.
Jennifer watched the men throw playful banters on each other.
"Kelvin close your eyes!" Henry ordered.
"Why?" Kelvin asked.
"I want to kiss my bride-to-be"
"I'm i disturbing you? Go ahead kiss her" Kelvin said.
"Kel, please close your eyes, I'm shy" Jennifer muttered.
"My eyes are closed and i give you ten seconds!" Kelvin shut his eyes.
Henry locked his lips on Jennifer's.
"One, two, three"
They increased the intensity, they ate each other's lips as if their life ticket depended on it.
"Four, five, six, seven, eight"
Henry broke the kiss and retrieved an empty huge sack lying on the grass.
"What for?" Jennifer asked.
"Shhh" Henry hushed and move towards Kelvin.
"Eight, nine, t...."
Henry covered his entire body from his head with the sack.
"What the hell" Kelvin struggled to uncover the sack but couldn't . Henry drew the sack down to his leg.
Jennifer laughed till she fell.
"Henry, I'll suicide you!" Kelvin screamed.

YINKS89:
i might not be able to answer the questions but in my own opinion i believe henry should pay for his crime no matter what some one died in this case.... also it would be hard for the family to accept him ones they find out he is the cause of lucys death

A gift awaits anyone who will answer the four questions…

Episode 12
The Love Match

Henry rolled restlessly on the bed, in deep thought. Jennifer's saga was still fresh and deep on his mind.
He tried to cross the 't' and dot the 'i' still no idea crossed his mind. Today was a public holiday, he had to do the right thing. Why people do run away from knotty problems is because they never attacked the problem from its root.
"I must get to the root!" He muttered as he came down from the bed.
He moved towards the mirror and admired his well built built torso. He used his fingers to trace the matchete scar and the faint tattoo. A tattoo he had tried so much to erase from his skin but couldn't .
He unhanged his towel and moved into the bathroom.

*******************
The security man opened the gate and Henry rode his bike into the compound. Somehow, he felt nervous. He spotted Kelvin moving towards the gate with a dog on leash.
"Hey bro" Henry waved.
Kelvin turned towards him, smiled and then maintained a straight face.
Henry moved towards him.
"What's your problem with my sister?"
"That's no way to reply my greetings!"
"Damn your greetings!"
"Cute monster you got there!" Henry pointed at the dog, which was obviously running out of patience.
"Fairy!" Kelvin said.
"Is it a GSD?"
"Yea"
"Never seen a white shepherd before!"
"I spent half a fortune to get it imported from Germany".
Henry nodded.
"What do you want?" Kelvin roared.
"Don't eat me, i came to check if Jennifer is okay!"
"You don't have her phone number?"
"Yea!"
"You think you could date my sister?"
"It will be an honour!"
Kelvin chuckled.
"She isn't ready for any guy!"
"What do you mean, is she a lesbian?"
Kelvin eyeballed him.
"You really want to know lover boy?" Kelvin held his chin.
"I don't know why I'm telling you this?" Kelvin hesitated for a while.
Henry stared at him in utmost concentration.
"How much love do you have for my sis?"
Henry smiled.
"I love her, can't get her off my mind!"
"Eight years ago, she and my late sis were cornered late at night and raped!" Kelvin had a blank look on his face.
Henry chuckled nervously.
Most times the guilt of an iniquity still remains, even when the iniquity itself is forgotten.
"I lost my sweet sister, her name Lucy, they were brutally assaulted, they were...." Kelvin broke down.
Henry stepped forward to soothe him but stepped back as the dog growled at him, Fairy sensed her master's mood swing and began barking.
Kelvin rubbed her head.
"Sometimes, i try to forget but i can't and Jennifer sees every guy as a threat, a key to her past. She had refused to let down her guard. You're not the first guy, many guy have proposed heaven but she refused them, my dad thinks and fears she might not marry!"
Henry closed his eyes to fight the guilt.
"Valar morghulis! But there are more better way to die, i would have prefered sickness but rape, very distasteful" Kelvin breathed.
Henry just stood there staring.
"Are you still game?"
"My love for her can't be detered".
*************
Jennifer unlocked the door, she sighed.
"I thought you wouldn't open up, i have been knocking for hours!" Henry said.
"Hours?"
"Sorry I'm just exaggerating" Henry smiled.
"Come in" Jennifer left the door and sat on a sofa.
Henry moved in and closed it.
"Nice apartment!"
"What can i offer you?"
"Fruit juice!" Henry shrugged.
Jennifer left to the kitchen to get the juice.
Henry breathed in admiration, the gown she wore made her look like a queen. Her long legs were too desirable. He felt the urge to protect her.
"There is no fruit juice, you'll have to manage yogurt!" Jennifer walked in with a glass, a tray and a pack of yogurt.
"I can't find fruit juice in the freezer" She placed the tray on a stool.
"Anything is fine, even if it is goat milk" Henry winked and poured the yogurt into his glass.
For five minutes, no one said anything. They were lost in each other gaze.
Henry cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry!"
"For what"
"For yesterday and the incident of the past years!" Henry watched her reaction.
"If i may ask, what incident?" She raised an eyeball.
"I knew what happened!"
"What?" Jennifer shivered, hoping it isn't what she expected.
"You were r.....aped" He stuttered a bit. "You lost your sister! Accept my sympathy".
"Who told you?"
"I asked questions and i got answers!"
"Answers from whom?"
"Jennifer, if we keep on dwelling in the past and refusing......."
"You don't understand, do you?"
"I perfectly understand" Henry stood up.
"To be raped by five different hoodlums in the cold bush, to watch your only sister bleed and you're powerless, to keep having nightmares of...." She breathed, staring into space. The pain was evident.
"I perfectly understand you!" Henry said, his hands were shivering. He felt a slight connection of the occurence to his past life.
But he shooked it off. What is past is past, the present is present and the future is the future.
He knelt before Jennifer.
"Jenny, let's break these chains, this shackles that held you prisoner, let's cut loose this feeling, let's breath the air of redemption. What happened to you and your sister is pure evil but you can't continue feeding on it. There is a friend i know that can grant you peace eternal. His name is Jesus. His peace is not of this world, his peace calms every turmoil, every storm. His peace is peace and peace everlasting!"
"I sang in the choir right from when i was ten, i was dutiful in service. But Christ watched me scream under those men, he watched my hymen being severed by people who don't deserve it, he watched my honour bemired, he watch...."
"Shhhh" Henry held her in a tight embrace.
♪He has always watched over you♪
♪in times of pains, in times of weakness♪
♪He is been by your side♪
♪in raging storms♪
♪He guided your soul♪
♪His love is pure and real♪
♪when you think, he is not there♪
♪He is there, watching o'er you♪
♪When you think, there is no heaven♪
♪Heaven is, and lives with you♪
♪You are heaven, make your heaven♪
♪Christ is in, and lives in you♪
***************
Jennifer eyes popped open as she felt a pair of eyes watching her.
She sighed and sat erect. She felt light as if the years burden has been lifted.
"How long have i been sleeping?" She rubbed her eyes.
"Two hours!"
"Gosh! And you let me sleep that long"
"I enjoyed watching you sleep! I prayed to heaven that the angels grant me the opportunity to watch you sleep everyday, everynight"
"And what did heaven say?"
"They pointed at you! They whispered to me that only you can grant me that!"
Jennifer blushed.
"Your voice, never heard a voice so melodious and soothing!" Jennifer complimented.
"Awwwwwn I'm blushing" Henry covered his face with his palms.
"You're sounding like a cat!"
Henry's gasped.
"I'm sorry" Jennifer smiled.
"You will make a legend in music" Jennifer smiled.
"Aye! I'm working on that" Henry bragged.
"Don't feel so proud".
"Am i?" Henry asked.
"Your voice reminds me of Michael Jackson!"
"He was my coach!"
"You've met him before?"
"Yea!"
"Serious?"
"Yea"
"Where?"
"I've been listening to his songs!"
Jennifer eyeballed him coldly.
"But you said you met him?"
"When you read a book or listen to a song, that's a reply to the personal invitation of the writer or artist. You are in his mind, you've met him. That's the mystery!"
"That means I've met Whitney houston, Alicia keys, Beyounce" Jennifer smiled.
"Yea! But is one thing to listen to a song and is another thing to relate to the music!"
"I don't think i understand you" Jennifer looked at him confused.

A knock was heard.
"Who is that?" Jennifer asked.
Kelvin unlocked the door.
"You've been indoors for more than three hours!"
"Yea"
Kelvin faced Henry.
"What magic did you work on her?"
"Kelvin please you need to leave us!" Jennifer pointed at the door.
Kelvin smiled.
"Anyways I'm leaving, i just came in to check on you!" Kelvin said.
"Anyways, I'll be relieving you off your duties. I'll be the one to check on her, I'll guard her, be her right hand man" Henry said.
Kelvin looked at him keenly, then he looked at Jennifer.
"Why staring?" Jennifer asked.
"I hope it is what I'm thinking!" Kelvin breathed.
"What are you thinking?" Jennifer asked.
"My sister is in love" Kelvin spread his hands.
"Shhhh! don't let the wall hear you" Henry said.
Kelvin moved forward and hugged Henry.
"How did you do it?"
"I didn't do anything!" Henry shrugged.
"Did you spill something into her drink?"
"Something like what?"
"Love jinx, jazz, touch and follow, name them!"
Henry and Jennifer laughed.
"I didn't spill anything into her drink, with God all things are possible" Henry smiled.
His gaze locked with Jennifer's own.
Kelvin laughed.
"I'll leave you guys, enjoy!" He unlocked the door and left.

"Jenny please, allow me to love you, allow me to make you happy, be my lady.
That beautiful eyes, all i see inside
Is the flames of love that resides
Then I'll say, ive found sweet love
It is soaring round me like a dove
Even when I'm lost in the grove
When i hold your hands
The feeling flowing in my arms
Sweet consolation of great tidings
Great, sweet joyful tidings
Jennifer, this love is real".

"I'm scared, i feel...."
"There is nothing to be scared of" Henry rubbed her back.
"I've released my whole entity to you, holding back nothing. Don't break my heart cuz I'll die if it happens" Jennifer said with tears in her eyes.
Henry smiled.
"Never! Come sit here my love" Henry adjusted on his chair to create space.
"When i was nineteen, i learnt a poem by Aloysius Edet" Jennifer said.
"What poem was it?"
"Sit here my love!"
"Huh?"
"That is the title of the poem!".
"I'll love to hear it".
Jennifer closed her eyes and gigled.
Her lips moved, but no words were heard. Slow and steady she began chanting.
"Sit here my love!
And let's throw pebbles into the stream!
Interrupt the stillnesd of the night
Lighted by the tender moon in the sky!
Whose charms brought us here!
Henry smiled, and in one swift action he lifted her up.
He began chanting.
"Sit here my love
And watch two shadows melt into one!
In rhythm to our heart beat!
Scarcely separate to whisper!
Now and then!
Love's charm and tenderness!

"You know the poem?" Jennifer asked as she traced his face with her fingers. Their faces were just an inch apart. Her soft skin rubbed against his stone hard torso.
He began chanting.
"They say love is an illusion
And ends in sad confusion
But i see sorrows has ended
And our whole world is blended.

Their lips locked, the desire was undeniable. Jennifer shivered in ectasy as Henry sucked on her tongue. He licked her nose.
"Silly!" Jennifer breathed.
They exchanged fluids as they kissed in a steady pace.
Jennifer moaned and chanted.
"Sit here my love
Perchance the moon does slumber
The stars above will lend their light
Pouring down her faithful beam
To our joy
For love kindles kidness.

Henry dropped her on the chair and slipped his hands into her gown. He grabbed her bra.
Jennifer stiffened.
"Those bad guys gave you a bad memory about sex, let us implant a new one!" Henry stared at her with fire. The burning flames were evident.
Jennifer bit her lips and tried to suppress her moans but failed as she groaned, and screamed in pure ectasy. Henry pressed her nipples and stared at her face. The look of pleasure on Jennifer's face drove him mad.
He took time to unbutton her gown as he chanted.
"Sit here my love
And tell me what we shall be loosing
Living and dying together
Avoiding love, sad ending
And our story will be told time and time over.

He gasped in admiration as his hands roamed her perky breast.
He kissed the nipples and sucked on it.
Jennifer sprawled restlessly, she gasped, moaned, groaned and screamed as Henry suckled on her breast.
"Baby suck!" She muttered weakly as bolt of pleasure spread through her.
Her cunt was dripping wet. Her hands roamed Henry's body and she struggled with his clothes.
Henry drew her pants down and stucked a finger, he slid in and out.
Jennifer went wild.
She kicked and screamed, she twisted her body and perspired heavily.
Henry increased the intensity.
Jennifer held his hand tight, the feeling was over-heavenly.
Henry chanted to the gyration of his thrusts.
"Sit here my love
And watch us aging and pining away
Under the beam of this faithful moon
Let us slowly pass away
In this world
For never were lovers like us"

Jennifer sobbed and wept in pure ectasy as her body betrayed her, she stiffened and begged for mercy as she felt her liquid at a point of gravity.
"H....e....nry....p...l....ease, i.....a......m dy......ing!" She shooked like an epileptic patient and muttered incoherent words.
Henry pulled out his finges and brougt his tongue into action.
Jennifer screamed and shivered terribly as she climaxed, she rolled down the sofa but Henry quickly held her, she shook terribly then sighed as her body relaxed.
Henry stared at her.
"Pull of your clothes, i want you inside me!" Jennifer said.
"You're weak" Henry said.

A knock was heard.
"Go away!" Jennifer screamed.
Her phone beeped with a voice message.
"Jenny, Dad commands your presence in the main hall".
"I need to go!" Jennifer stood up and buttoned her robe.
"Then this is good bye!" Henry hugged her.
"When will i see you again?" Jennifer asked.
"Soon, my love" Henry kissed her.
"My heart!" Jennifer said.
He moved to the door and unlocked it. Jennifer watched till he disappeared out of sight.
She smiled.

Episode 11

Complicated Romance

Henry rushed over some document and signed the necessary ones. He handed them to the secretary, worked on his clothes and officially closed for the day.
He thought of what to make for dinner: rice, fish ketchup. He stopped. He still had unfinished business, he peered at his wristwatch.
"3:15 pm"
He bid his colleagues farewell, climbed his bike and rode off leaving a thick spinning dust behind.

*************
Jennifer rubbed her ass to soothe the burning sensation she felt, sitting down for hours wasn't a funny thing.
She stretched her body, tidied up the remains of her work and left the bank building.
She rang Kelvin for the seventh time but the latter refused to answer, maybe due to some circumstances.

"Hello Jenny, hop in let's go somewhere for dinner" Nelson popped his head through the windscreen. He had been trying his luck on Jennifer for months. Jennifer never looked him twice in the eye while he swore on his mother's grave that he won't give up.
"I'm not hungry!" Jennifer walked away.
He reversed backward.
"Let's go have a drink" Nelson proposed, bitting his lips nervously.
"I'm not thirsty!" Jennifer retrieved her earphones and plugged into her ears. She never needed the music, but she wanted Nelson off her way.
Nelson pounced on the steering.
"Jennifer!" He called.
She kept nodding to the rhythm of the song blasting through.
"Jenny!"
"Damn! Are you a lesbian?" He muttered in exasperation.
Jennifer hardly made time for men, her relationship was strictly professional.
"Why does she hate me so much!" Nelson thought.
"I've got a ride, a nice ride, i wear a good cologne, my clothes are flashy, got the right body, handsome face, why, why?"
He reversed the car and followed Jennifer.
"Let me at least drop you home!" He tapped at her.
Jennifer struck him a blow across the face.
Nelson staggered, a shocker!
"Why are you hell bent on ruining my evening, i think one knows when to back off a race when he is loosing one" Jennifer screamed in rage.
Nelson rubbed his swollen lips.
"I'm not a person to back of a race, i must make it to the finishing line!" Nelson said.
"You're welcome to make it to the dead line, but if you cross my pa...."
"Easy, Easy, Miss Jennifer!"
She turned in suprise as she recognised the voice.
"You're too beautiful, no man can resist your charms.Unfortunately i fall under that category. You looked terribly exhausted, you need a hot super, a thick blanket over your body cuz the night will be dead cold!" Henry said, and folded his hands.
Jennifer scratched an itchy spot on her scalp. She hated the spotlight, two men, one evening, all professing some left handed, dirty admiration.
She looked at Henry then to Nelson.
"Take me home!" She muttered and moved towards Henry.
"But first you'll do something for me!" Henry waved his key.
"What is that?"
"Apologise to this man here, he's done nothing wrong. He's just a victim of circumstances like me, here" Henry folded his hands.
"What circumstances?"
"Jenny, you see love is an express lane with heavy duty vehicles, and we must pass through that express lane, most times we successfully evade those heavy duty vehicles, most times, we do get hit by them. You are an example of a heavy duty vehicle, and we got hit!"
"Poetic! Good poetry!!" She was beginning to like this guy.
"Nelson, I'm sorry" she smiled.
That smile!
Top models take months to practise how to smile like that, an award winning smile.
"Please forgive me!"
Nelson closed his eyes shut.
He felt weak and stupid at the same time.
"Nelson I'm ...."
"Call that name again!" Nelson said.
"Huh!"
"The name sounds so sweet in your mouth" Nelson breathed in admiration.
"Sick in love!" Henry chuckled.
Jennifer smiled, and followed after Henry.
"I love this power bike!" She breathed.
"I'm not with an extra helment" Henry climbed on it.
"Don't take me home"
"Huh?"
"Take me to somewhere" Jennifer breathed.
Henry smiled.

Nelson watched as they rode off.
He rubbed his swollen lips, that hand was honey coated.
"God if you make Jennifer mine, i promise you i will attend church, I'll stop womanizing, I'll stop masturbation, I'll stop......."
Prayer! Prayer!! Prayer!!!

***************
Henry slided into the parking space and parked his bike.
"Olivera Evening Suite"
"May i hold my lady?" Henry bowed.
"Very well!"
Henry held Jennifer's hand and they moved hand in hand to the hall.
"This place is chill" Jennifer gasped.
"Yea, this is where i spend my friday evenings!" Henry said.
"With ladies huh?"
"No! Why do you seem to care?" Henry breathed.
"I was just asking!" Jennifer snapped.
"I'm getting jealous already!" Henry imitated 'fire boy' vocals.
Henry and Jennifer moved into the hall to the admiration of everyone.
Jennifer, the queen of queens.
Every table was distracted.
Men followed her with their gazes, while the ladies looked on in jealosy.
Most men lost concentration on their table and gazed.
Jennifer, the turner!!!
She catwalked with measured steps, aware of the attention she was receiving. Most times she hated it, it attracted men to her, after the incidence that took place in her life eight years ago, she always questioned God why men found her irresistible. It seemed that led to her rape. Henry felt a surge of pride as he moved side by side with the queen.
They took their seat and made orders.
"Don't frown your face, you are not paying for my wine!" Jennifer chuckled.
"Not that, just that you have a high taste" Henry said.
"And you aren't happy with that" Jennifer raised an eyeball.
"No, i have no problem with that" Henry raised his hands in surrender.
Their orders were served.
Jennifer struggled with the wine opener.
"Let me help you!" Henry offered.
He grabbed the bottle, inserted the pin into the cork, spun it round and pulled it up.
Pooooop!!!!!
"Thanks!" She muttered and poured hers into the glass.
"We can share, there's love in sharing" Jennifer shifted the bottle of wine closer.
"I'm okay with my bottle of budweiser".
"Why do men like beer?" Jennifer asked.
"I don't know!" Henry nodded in negative.
"Men can't stay without beer!"
Henry nodded in negative.
"That's a stereotyped belief, i drink once in a while and i know people who don't drink beer!"
"Let's digress a little bit" Henry surged forward.
"Tell me about your past relationship".
At the sound of relationship, Jennifer cringed.
"I don't have anything to say concerning that angle!" Jennifer emptied her glass with one straight gulp.
"Never had a boyfriend?" Henry squinted.
"Aye, never had".
Henry nodded and smiled.
"Do you think I'm joking?"
"No, i wasn't thinking, i was expecting the answer" Henry flashed his dentition.
"How old are you? 17,18, 20?"
"Why do you want to know?" Jennifer asked.
"You are trying to tell me that you haven't dated? You command power, grace with your walking steps, your beauty is superb, you cant...."
"Suit yourself, i haven't!"
"But you've had sex before?"
Jennifer's eyeball almost popped out from her sockets.
"Let's not go there!" Jennifer's eyes became misty.
"Then your mother did a nice job taking care of you. let's drink to her!" Henry raised his glass up.
"To your mum!" He drank some quantity and placed the glass on the table.
*Let's drink to your mum'
That phrase struck a chord.
The accent was familiar.

Flash back
"You're a virgin, your mum did a nice job taking care of you, we'll drink to your mother later".

*****
She jerked and screamed in fear as she heard a growl.
Henry laughed and almost choked on his drink.
Jennifer held her chest and sighed when she realised it was Henry's voice.
"You think it is funny?" She was felt angerful.
"I'm sorry, I've been always up to one mischief or another ever since i was a child!" Henry took a gulp of his drink."You just left us!" He shrugged.
"You're crying, why crying?"
"Am i?" Jennifer wiped her tears with her brow.
"Funny, you girls can be funny. You have lived your life for nollywood. Nollywood has influenced you all, how will you just sit and just cry? Gone are the days when women wail, scream and draw thick drops of cartarhh when crying but now they only stream down tears and hiss like a snake on heat" Henry chuckled.
Jennifer eyeballed him coldly.
"Sorry! i was just joking" He used his thumbs to clean her tears.
"Drop that hand down!" Jennifer voiced out coldly.
Henry cringed in shock.
"I'm leaving!" She stood up and beckoned on the waiter.
"What's up with the mood switch, what have i done wrong?" Henry stood up.
"You've done nothing wrong, i just remembered something from the past" Jennifer settled all the bills.
Henry was suprised.
"Don't pay!" Henry called the waiter back. "Return her money!"
Jennifer strapped her bag and left Henry and the waiter debating.
She checked her wristwatch, the night was still young but dark. She had phobia for darkness.
"How could i be stupid, to follow a stranger on a date till late night"
She retrieved her phone from her purse and sighed.
47 missed calls from her Dad and brother.
"Pls come pick me up at olivera evening suite" She clicked the 'send' icon on her phone.


"Jennifer" Henry quickened his pace to meet up with her.
Jennifer maintained a huge distance from him.
"Don't come close" She pointed a warning finger.
"Jenny, in God name please make me understand. We were having a good time and all of a sudden you're angry" Henry pleaded.
Jennifer rubbed her forehead and groaned in pains. Her head was hurting.
"Jenny what's wrong with you?" Henry ignored her warning and moved to hold her.
A blow was strucked across Henry's face.
"Don't touch me!" Jennifer warned.
"Are you mad?" Henry charged.
"If you try to touch me, I'll scream my lungs out!"
"Is this how you go about slapping men?"
"Yes, and what will you do?" Jennifer dared.
"Unfortunately, i can't do anything" Henry rubbed his bleeding nose, Jennifer's ring had hurt him.
"Let me take you home, its getting dark!" Henry said.
"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Jennifer maintained her stance.
"It is getting dark and we are not going anywhere, you're going home!" Henry was flummoxed.
"Go away!"
"I brought you here, I'm not leaving you here!" Henry shoved her a bit.
"For the last time let me be!" Jennifer recoiled in fear, she tried to put up a bold stance, a bold composure but her stength was failing her.
Her phobic traumatic illness set in. She became scared, scared of the passing wind, the soft cricket whistles, everything made her fear.
"Kelvin please i need you!"
Henry just stood there folding his arms and watching Jennifer in amazement.
Soon, a headlight shone on them.
She breathed a sigh of relief as she recognised her brother.
"Jenny are you okay?" Kelvin asked.
"Yea!"
"What were you doing here?" Kelvin scolded.
"I went out with a friend!" Jennifer pointed at Henry.
"You never had a male friend and you never stayed out late for the past years. What happened and who is this friend?" Kelvin regarded Henry for a while.
"Henry!"
"Kelvin!"
"What did you do to my sister?" Kelvin marched forward, fist clenched.
"I'm just suprised myself, we were just having a good time all of a sudden she flared up and left!" Henry explained.
Kelvin searched his sister body with his eyes, checking for any spot or injury.
"Did he try to..?"
"No" Jennifer said.
"Funny, you are her body guard huh? She isn't a kid".
"Shut your trap!" Jennifer said.
Henry shrugged.
"Let's go honey!" Jennifer said and they left.
Henry watched them as Kelvin expertly reversed the car and sped off.
Henry sighed.
"Not everyday i get to meet a drama queen".

More on the way

We have five more episodes to wrap up this novella. I need feedback from the audience!!!!

Episode 10
Lucifer and Jennifer


Fate, a presumed cause, force, principle or divine will that predetermines event. The world is spherical, albeit a rotational sequence of activities, a circular motion of circumstances that spins. You run from a problem here, it meets you there. So is life, a sequence of rotational difficulties.


Kelvin drove his toyota sedan into an estate, he waved past the gateman and guided his car into the park.
"Wait here for me, let me get something from a friend" Kelvin whispered.
"I'll come with you" Jennifer said and unbuckled her seat belt.
"I won't tarry!" Kelvin reduced the volume of the sound system.
"That's what you say everytime, you go in to meet your female client!"
"I'm not meeting any female, i want to get a file from a colleague, a male".
"Last time you left me in the car and spent over an hour with a colleague!" Jennifer deadpanned.
"I apologised, didn't i?" Kelvin sighed.
"You apologised, but that won't stop the act, is this how you'll treat your wife?" Jennifer sniggered.
Kelvin muttered incoherent words and alighted from the vehicle.
Jennifer followed suit.
"Maybe, you should follow me inside to see if... "
"I'll wait outside, if you dare waste my time....."
"Am i your bodyguard?" Kelvin raised his hands up.
"Yes you are!" Jennifer chuckled.
Kelvin cursed under his breath and walked past her.
"Waist my time and Dad will have your head for dinner!" Jennifer said.

Jennifer took some time to admire the architectural design of the building exterior. She marched round, in a bid to tour round when a voice distracted her. A familiar voice.
She stoped, dazed by the voice. Soon she forgot about Kelvin, forgot about her troubles and began moving towards the direction of the voice.

♪Master the billows is raging♪
♪the storm is tossing by♪
♪the skies is o'er shadowed with darkness♪
♪No helper is near♪
♪Careth thou not that we perish♪
♪How can thou lie and sleep♪
♪When each moment so glad is threatening♪
♪No helper on earth is near♪
♪The wind and seas shall obey thy will♪
♪Peace be still♪
♪Peace be still♪
♪Neither the wind and the storm tossed sea♪
♪or demon or men or what e'r it be♪
♪No water can swallow the ship where lies♪
♪The master of ocean and earth and skies♪
♪They all shall sweetly obey my will♪
♪Peace be still♪

Jennifer breathed in admiration as she saw the handsome creature with a guitar, eyes closed, singing with the voice of an angel.
She leaned on a rail and watched him, that voice was spectacular, she knew she had heard that voice somewhere.

He paused, his instinct nudged him, someone was staring. He opened his eyes.

"Ehmm" Jennifer scratched a scalp in her hair. She lost her composure for a while.
"Sorry for staring, i just enjoyed the song, and the way you ministered" Jennifer smiled then maintained a straight face.
Henry just kept on staring.
It is akward.
"I'm Jennifer" She said.
Henry kept on staring.
Jennifer strapped her bag and turned to leave.
Henry gave himself a mental knock.
"Don't go" He called back.
"It is not everyday i get to see an angel, and when i see one, i can die staring" Henry smiled, then made a straight face when he noticed Jennifer wasn't smiling.
"Good God! I was expecting you to say 'awwwwwn I'm blushing' or 'awwwwn don't flatter me' that's the normal girl's cliche" Henry cajoled.
"I'm not 'the normal girl'!" Jennifer sighed.
"Bad timing!" Henry muttered to himself.
"I'm Henry!" He stretched his hands.
Jennifer took it albeit, reluctantly.
They just remained still, speechless, each lost in thought.

"Jenny, time for dinner!" Kelvin halfscreamed, as he descended a flight of stairs.
Jennifer breathed in relief.
"Thanks for saving the moment! I've never felt so stupid in my life!" Henry smiled.
"I'm Henry!" He stretched his hands.
"Compliment! I'm Kelvin!"
"What are you complimenting me for?" Henry rubbed his palms together.
Kelvin shrugged.
"Your girlfriend is beautiful, the word beautiful is no good adjective to describe her" Henry flashed his dentition towards Jennifer but the later eyeballed him coldly.
"She is my junior sister!" Kelvin held her hand.
Phew!!!
"For once i thought you guys were couples, that means i stand a chance!"
"Chance of what?" Jennifer deadpaned.
Kelvin moved further and whispered.
"If i were you, i wouldn't have my hopes so high".
Jennifer dragged Kelvin.
"I'm hungry let's leave" Jennifer made a puppy face.
Kelvin nodded at Henry and moved to his car.

Henry immediately raced to where he parked his power bike.
"Shit" he cursed as he remembered his guitar strapped to his back. He adjusted it, ignited the engine,wore his helment and rode closely, following Kelvin's car.
Old habit sometimes die hard!

****************
"First City Monument Bank" Henry called out. The previous day he had trailed Kelvin's car and discovered their residence.
He left home early enough and trailed Jennifer to her work station.
He had barely five minutes to get home and prepare for work.
He ignited the engine, put on his helment and raced on a very high speed.

****************
Fifteen minutes later, he raced into the premises of the organization he worked. He worked as a health research officer for a private health agency.
His arrival was always noticed because of his bike. He removed his helment, strapped it to his bike and marched in.

Yea, some leopards do change.

Episode 9

Ironborn, now Born again


8 years later

Henry, cladded in a blue italian suit stood on the stage with his guitar in hand. He smiled as the crowd went wild in excitement.
Tears streamed down his eyes.
Eight years ago felt like a long, long time. He now bagged a degree in anatomy, a musician and an Evangelist. God is good.
He was about leading an orchestra performance in glass house threatre, Ikoyi.
"Before we start, i wanna thank the almight because his mercy surpasses human comprehension, his grace is everlasting. I cry everytime i remember the past, the past was horrifically horrified, the past was terrifically terrified, but now" he breathed.
"I'm born again!"
He plucked the strings of his guitar.
♪You alone are my strength, my shield♪
♪To you alone, may my spirit yield♪
♪You alone are my heart desire♪
♪So i long to worship you♪
The crowd went wild in admiration. The voice, so electrifying, so melodious, so angelic.
"You know what? That desire has been eating me up, the desire to dine, to wine with Christ. The desire to behold him in his beauty. The desire to uphold his name. God is good, none to be compared with him. My past was bad, worst than anyone's past you've ever met, but thankGod I'm ...."
"Born again!" The crowd screamed.
♪ As the deer panteth for the water♪
♪ So my soul longeth after Thee ♪
♪You alone are my heart's desire ♪
♪And I long to worship Thee♪

♪ You're my friend ♪
♪And You are my brother ♪
♪Even though You are a King ♪
♪I love You more than any other ♪,
♪So much more than anything I want♪

♪ You more than gold or silver ♪
♪Only You can satisfy♪
♪You alone are the real joy giver ♪
♪And the apple of my eye♪

Eyes closed, He pulled the strings and brought down Heaven, his voice reverberated round the hall.
The crowd was lost in euphoria.
They were drunk in the exalted fumes of the spirit.
The other instrumentalist tuned in, alas, the hall was lifted.
Henry looked up, saw the smoke, the brilliant, white,immaculate smoke. He saw the angels in matching robe, hovering round, feasting on the fumes of praise. He felt the walls of the threatre vibrate.
He closed his eyes, still into the tune of the song, he fired 'his presence his here by the potters choir'.
The melodious pitch, the crescendo sustained by the Vocalist drove the hall with rage.
The rage in spirit.
Henry plucked the strings like mad, the spirit is here!
"Have you ever imagined a life without the spirit, such life isn't worth living. There is optimum satisfaction when you walk with the Lord, side by side each passing day". Henry breathed.

House, has Henry truly repented? I need to hear from you.

The Vicar of Truth 2

Henry leapt with his crutches, he looked older than his age, his face was grey with suffering and pains.
The Vicar climbed the altar.
"Can you kneel?"
Henry made to kneel but groaned in pains. With slow, steady and calculated steps he knelt.
"Confess your sins!" The Vicar urged.
"All my sins?"
"Aye! all of them!"
"Master!"
"Call him Jesus!" The Vicar pointed.
"Master Jesus! I'm a beast, my sins are red, not even red, black, if i say I'm a beast, I'm underrating myself. I'm a monster, I'm a dragon, I'm a caterpillar...."
"Boy, go straight to the point".
"That's the point! Right from my birth I've been the king of mischief, i admired the boko-harams, i wanted to be like them. When i was five, i was an expert in making all kinds of paper-guns. In my primary school, i was the chairman of noisemakers. I collected cane twice in every hour.
I urinated inside my mother's pot of soup, and when she chased me i dribbled her till she fell in a gutter filled with mud. I always peep into the bathroom when ladies are bathing, sometimes i steal their pail of water and leave them stranded with soap in their eyes. I bleeped all the females in my compound before the age of thirteen".
"Blood of Jeez!" The Vicar jumped, and folded his hands in disbelief.
"I fought with our landlord and broke his leg, then i stole his wife pants and gave them to my girlfriend. I use to throw stones at cripples, there was a day i stole my neighbour's crutches and left her crying. I stuffed goat shit inside a friend's pot of soup, i did many terrible things. I raped a lady, no two ladies, no six ladies. The first one was a girl of twelve"
"Oshey! You were the devil's PA" The Vicar exclaimed.
"No! I was the devil himself, my sins are beyond count, i can still remember the face of the man, an elderly man that cried when i stole his most treasured okrika rainboot.
I burnt my principal's car when i was in SS3, i poured super glue on a chair and made someone to sit on it. My landlord was a palmwine tapper. I use to steal his wine but one day, he caught me and flogged me to death.
And the following day, i followed him without his knowledge to the swamp. The man kept his ladder and climbed up a tree when he was settled on a branch, i emerged and carried his ladder. The man cried, cursed but i wasn't detered. I told him to jump down, l left him there. I always steal meat from people's trap until one drunk set a trap for me, that day i came as usual to steal from his trap but i never knew there was another trap for me, a bigger trap for a bigger bush meat. The trap clicked on my canvas, and held me stucked. I cried but the man refused to release me. The man was blind, he could only see with the aid of lens. So i sneaked on him and stole his lens while he was in the farm, the man wandered about blindly, he stumbled and fell and knocked three teeths out".
"Clap for yourself" The Vicar said.
"One day i stole goat from the village shrine....."
"It's alright, you little Arrow" The Vicar breathed.
"Let me confess"
"Your confession is making sick in the stomach".
"I was a pain in the ass to everyone around me. I led the most deadly criminal gang in this village, I've caused pains, untold hardship to people. Oh Lord cleanse me of my sins, make me a new creature, purge me oh lord!" Henry sobbed.
"Do you accept Jesus as your lord and savior?"
"I accept him as my lord, i thought 'personal' was always attached to 'saviour'..."
"My friend shattap! Holy mary pardon my tongue. Do you....."
"Yes I've accepted"
"When did you accept?"
"Now!"
"Why not say yes I'm accepting?"
"Yes I'm accepting!"
The Vicar poured a bottle of oil on his head.
"You're now a new creature!"
"Is this groundnut oil?" Henry asked as he felt the sticky substance flowing down.
"Watch your tongue!" The Vicar warned.
"Close your eyes!"
Henry closed his eyes.
"Am i a new creature?"
"Yes old things have passed away, you need to be baptized".
Henry gasped.
"Yea! I'll love it in a swimming pool".
"My friend, you'll be baptized in that otamirimiri river!" The Vicar stepped down the podium.
"Girls do come to bath in that river!" Henry shrugged.
"Are you going there for the girls?"
"But it'll be a distraction!"
The Vicar breathed.
"People like you made Christ to say, if any part of you tries to stop you from entering the kingdom, cut it and throw it away!"
"Huh?"
"Don't make me consider castration, cuz I'll cut that thing off".
"No father! Please don't cut it, i promise i won't ever sniff on the ladies" Henry recoiled.
"Move" The Vicar said.
"Thank God I'm born again!" Henry breathed.

Episode 8

The Vicar of Truth



Henry fell weakly at the gate of the church, the church his late mother attended, the church his mother forced him to attend.
He held the handle of the gate and with his dwindling strength he pushed it open.
"Where is father?" He screamed in agony.
"Who are you?" a sister rushed to him.
He grabbed the woman on her robe roughly.
"Where is father?" He inquired.
The sister saw pains in the eyes of the dying man.
"He is in the parsonage!" The sister tried to lift him but failed woefully.
Henry groaned and tried to stand on one leg but couldn't .
The Sister on realizing the close distance between herself and Henry retreated and did the sign of the crucifix.
She called other people and they carried Henry to the parsonage.
The Vicar stood in the threshold and squinted his eyes to behold the scene unfolding before him.
"Father this man requested to see you!"
The Vicar moved closer and gasped as reality dawned on him.
"Abasiekeme!" He called.
Henry's eyes popped open, no one had called him that since his mother died.
"Abasiekeme!" The Vicar called.
"Father!" Henry replied with a faint voice.
"Do you need Christ?"
"More than ever!" Henry passed out.
"Heaven rejoices when one sinner turns from iniquities!" The Vicar raised his hands to heaven.
"Take him to the clinic!"

**************
"Father, please let's do the right thing" Doctor Duke said.
The Vicar stared with a blank gaze.
"We need a police report, we can't treat a bullet wound without proper investigation!"
"Duke, that boy is in my care! I'll vouch for him!" The Vicar grimaced.
"But he had a bullet hole, he is a criminal" The Doctor rapped.
"Duke, i don't want to talk about this" The Vicar dismissed him with a wave of hand.
"I came not for the righteous, not the holy ones but the lost sheep of Israel" The Vicar breathed.

***************
"Father don't let them take me to the police!" Henry breathed.
"I'm Doctor Duke, how are you?"
"I feel pains everywhere!"
"You'll be using a pair of crutches for now until your leg completely heals and is strong enough to carry your weight!" The Doctor moved to the door.
"Thankyou!" Henry breathed.
"Don't thank me, thank the Vicar. What i did was unprofessional, it could have my medical license revoked" The Doctor unlocked the door and moved out.
Henry breathed a sigh of relief, but somehow he was scared of the unknown, terrified for what fate had in stock for him.
His eyes searched the room then he lowered his gaze.
He suddenly remembered something. 'The bag of money'.
The door was unlocked.
"Abasiekeme!" The Vicar moved with fatherly love.
"Father!"
"In simple words, tell me what happened".
"I don't know where to start!" Henry sobbed.
"Start somewhere!" The Vigar urged.
"My life is damned, i want to die".
"If you really wanted to die, you would have saved yourself the trouble of coming here! I took a big risk to have that metal removed" The Vicar's voice transformed from soft to hard.
"Father i killed people, I've raped, I've robbed, I've ......" his voice broke into sobs.
"I came to make peace with the master before i kill my self!".
"Then your stupidity continues, you make peace with God, then you commit suicide!".
"Father I'm lost!"
"Eventhough your sins be black as coal, the master can wash it clean.
Though it may be red as blood, the master can wash it clean!" The Vicar soothed.
"What if it smells like shit?"
"Huh?"
"My sins smells like shit!"
"Then the Master will close his nose and walk past you!" The Vicar chuckled. "No sin is more powerful than the ever redeeming blood of the master!".
Henry sobbed.
"Confess! Confess!! Confess!!! The Master is there. Right from birth, he had watched, watched your every steps, knew your motives before you thought about them....."
"He knew my life was going to be damned!"
"Aye! He knew, that's why he made salvation. Abasiekeme this is your salvation" The Vicar placed his hands on his shoulder.
"The other boys died!"
"What boys?"
"My team mates, we had a misunderstanding and we shot death ourselves. Those boys weren't they worthy of salvation?" Henry asked.
"Fate! Destiny!! Two forces that cannot be avoided, two forces that controls the element of life, our life was birthed with an instruction manual, we live our life according to the steps on that manual. They had to die so that your eyes could be opened to the beauty of the truth, the truth that lies in the word of the master!".
Henry cried, he cried, tears of regret, tears of pains. His heart was broken. He soiled the bed with tears.
"Abasiekeme, Heaven has sensed your broken heart!"
"What will i do to be saved?" Henry cried.
